        Description: Requiem Aeternam

         

        Available for Pre-Order now.

        Requiem Aeternam is a deeply personal and richly evocative choral work by D N Carter, written with both tradition and accessibility in mind. Drawing on years of experience as a choir leader, musical director, and lifelong church musician, Carter presents a modern Requiem rooted in the structure of the All Souls Mass, but reimagined for today’s choirs and audiences. Carter's Requiem Aeternam distinguishes itself through its seamless integration of traditional Latin texts with accessible English settings and familiar hymn tunes, creating a uniquely inclusive and emotionally resonant experience.

        Spanning seventeen flexible movements – including familiar texts like Kyrie, Sanctus, Agnus Dei, and Pie Jesu – this setting blends sacred English texts with lyrical melodies reminiscent of Fauré, juxtaposed with moments of Duruflé-inspired harmonic richness and contemporary textures. Three well-loved hymns invite optional audience participation, and themes of rest, remembrance, and spiritual hope run throughout. From the swirling dissonance of the opening Introit to the serene beauty of the Pie Jesu, Carter's score offers a diverse and compelling musical landscape.

        Written in the quiet moments between teaching, parenting, and conducting, this Requiem reflects Carter's personal journey through loss and his deep connection to the choral tradition, inspired by his experiences as a chorister at Ripon Cathedral. This Requiem is as heartfelt as it is musical – a work shaped by grief, gratitude, and a love of choral singing. Whether performed in full or in part, Requiem Aeternam offers choirs a moving and meaningful journey through life, loss, and the promise of peace.
